Scandinavian-inspired “FrogPond Estate” debuts in New Canaan

New Canaan, CT A new luxury property, unlike anything on the market in town, has officially debuted for sale. Represented by Mar Jennings of Higgins Group Private Brokerage, FrogPond Estate at 259 Frogtown Rd. introduces a Scandinavian-inspired architectural presence to one of Fairfield County’s communities.

Further elevating the property is Jennings’ collaboration with Connecticut builder Carlos Alvarez of Greenday Co.

Set on 2.25 private waterfront acres near town and train access, the newly constructed estate spans more than 13,000 s/f and features 7 bedrooms, 9 1/2 bathrooms, soaring 12-ft. ceilings, walls of glass, bespoke millwork, designer lighting, multiple fireplaces, and an open-concept layout designed for living and entertaining.

At the center of the residence is a gourmet chef’s kitchen anchored by dual oversized islands, connecting to sun-drenched living spaces, covered outdoor entertaining areas, private balconies, and resort-inspired amenities, including a heated Gunite pool, pond views, and a detached guest cottage.

The property combines sleek contemporary design with high-end functionality, including an elevator, sound system, multiple laundry rooms, radiant heat, custom detailing throughout, and a separate guest residence ideal for extended family, wellness retreats, private staff quarters, or luxury entertaining.

“FrogPond Estate represents a rare opportunity to experience modern Scandinavian luxury at an entirely new level for New Canaan,” said Jennings. “The home was thoughtfully designed to feel both architecturally significant and deeply livable, warm, refined, private, and connected to nature.”

Jennings has built a reputation for delivering highly personalized, lifestyle-driven experiences that differentiate him from traditional brokers. Rejecting the standard lockbox approach, Jennings personally curates private tours and immersive property experiences designed to create emotional connection and exclusivity for qualified buyers. FrogPond Estate makes a bold architectural statement, and Jennings’ innovative sales strategy is designed to match it.

Known nationally as an Emmy-nominated television host, bestselling lifestyle author, and award-winning luxury real estate professional, Jennings continues to expand his presence in Fairfield County’s luxury real estate market through distinctive lifestyle-focused listings and innovative marketing strategies.
